If ya can’t stand the suburbs, stay in the city
ByDerek
I’ve said it many times before – I’m completely fine with urban development in the city. I’m even fine with urban development in suburban villages. So why is it that those that love the urban lifestyle are so vehemently against the suburban environment? On Buffalo Rising, we find this post about an urbanist who ventured…

All quiet on the Punaro front
ByDerek
Haven’t had much to post lately. Amanda and I had a fabulous combined birthday celebration on Saturday. This year I asked everyone to just gift me cash, as what I really wanted to get was a lighting setup for my camera. Need the right gear to take photos of the baby! When it all arrives…

Think it can’t happen to your town?

From his deck, Mr. Schönherr can see the town’s famous hilltop Gothic castle as well as two of its three power-generating windmills. On his roof, a…

Back in town

Amanda and I are back from our camping trip down to Buttermilk Falls State Park. Luckily for us, while we did get a bit of rain, there was no sign of hail or tornados down Ithaca way. We hit up five wineries, four state parks, three gorge trails, two trips to Taste of Thai, and…

Central Terminal spring cleanup this weekend!
ByDerek
Don’t forget… our 9th annual spring cleanup takes place this Saturday and Sunday, May 6th and 7th from 9am until 1pm. Work will take place both inside and outside the building, depending on weather. Frood and drink will be provided. Please bring gloves and any tools (shovels, brooms, etc.) that you think will be helpful!
From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up. The juxtaposition of very modern with the very communist-egalitarian is a hoot. I have a similar photograph from my trip to Shanghai – hundreds upon hundreds of bicycles, all virtually identical, Schwinn-looking, rust-covered, circa 1950s. I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.
I guess you had to be there.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
